Pedro Iraburu
I am a young economist, born in 1995, fanatic of programming and data analysis. I was introduced to Python when I wrote my degree thesis. Since then I also learnt R, Matlab and Stata. I am currently writing my master thesis of the EAP programme in the University of the Basque Country. I plan to specialize in Data Science or in a similar field.
